In electrical engineering, capacitive sensing (sometimes capacitance sensing) is a technology, based on capacitive coupling, that can detect and measure anything that is conductive or has a dielectric different from air.
There are some practical steps you can try to ease hot flashes and/or night sweats: 1  Sleep in a cool room. 2  Dress in layers, which can be removed at the start of a hot flash. 3  Have a drink of cold water or juice when you feel a hot flash coming on. 4  Use sheets and clothing that let your skin âbreathe.â. 5  Donât smoke.
The systems in the human body that enable it to adapt to heat become overwhelmed. When a person is exposed to heat for a very long time, the first thing that shuts down is the ability to sweat. We know that when perspiration is dried by the air there is a cooling effect on the body. Once a person stops perspiring, in very short order a person can move from heat exhaustion to heat stroke.
